Imagine a Wolf

Ages 4 to 8

The tale of a wolf who struggles with being stereotyped as a villain, even in their own fractured fable.

What do you see when you imagine a wolf?

Sharp, pointy teeth?

Big, hungry eyes?

A soft sweater and a friendly smile?

Wait a minute!

The wolf in this story would rather knit than huff, puff, or blow anyone’s house down. But that doesn’t stop the townsfolk from crying wolf anyway. What’s a kind-hearted wolf to do when everyone keeps running and screaming at “Hello?” It’s time to show the world that this wolf is the furthest thing from Big and Bad.

This beautifully illustrated fable engages readers directly, reminding them to challenge expectations.
